Makes you wonder how “mankind” can live with itself while fostering such an obvious tragedy

What if...we...all of us come together and set a time each day where we focus and send just a well-wishing to all who are affected in this journey of litigation...it could be something like this..." I desire to join together with everybody in this intention...for the purpose of the transformation and expansion of our care for the benefit and well-being of all"...we could say something like this three times say at 8:00 am your time...we all would be joining our energies together at that moment focused with intention...I will do it...

Each day this drags on I worry more and more on the time I'm losing that I could be getting treatment and help. I have a wife and three children, 21, 15, and soon to be 3 year old. I would love Tremendously To be a part of their everyday lives and memories. Day by day I struggle with day to day task to make this family a happy fun loving Environment. I hope I can start receiving treatment soon.

this a disgrace to the many players who played the game the way the NFL instructed us and allowed the many head collision playing NFL games and practice we deserve every penny NFL organization needs to pay the former NFL player their claims! the legal system should not allow the NFL organization to continue lack of respect for our legal system!

I agree that the settlement mechanism approved by the court is subject to obfuscation and delay by the NFL. The NFL's purpose in doing this is the same as it was during our struggle for pension reform. That is, "Delay, Deny and hope they Die!" The Court should not permit this subterfuge to continue and should appoint a truly independent claims administrator.

I developed hydrocephalus during the 1981 Super Bowl season with the 49ers and survived 3 emergency VP shunt brain surgeries in 8 months and was given last rites at age 23. By 1993 I’d survived 9 brain surgeries and several gran mal seizures. Here it is nearly 40 years after my first brain surgery and I’m back in court fighting the 49ers Work Comp carrier, The Travelers, to get bills paid, and STILL fighting the NFL for my paid benefits. It seems to me, despite your directives, the tail is still wagging the dog. Shame on all of you. We only ask our bills be paid.

Mating elephants is less challenging than professional and prompt handling of retired player claims. The Judge needs to break the stalemate.

How they are treating the player is awful. It seems like all NFL wanted to do is get rich off us. They don't care about our well being at all and that's sad. They always hollering about we are a family, family dnt do family like that

We should use former players who are lawyers to threaten law suits where appropriate.
